How to fully utilise NYSC to create wealth for Nigerian graduates – Ani

A fervent call has been set aside for graduates in Nigeria to fully utilise the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to create wealth for themselves.

Mrs Victoria Nnenna Ani, the NYSC Ondo State Coordinator, on Tuesday, made the call during the flag off occasion of the SAED training exercises for the 2021 Batch ‘A’ (Stream 1) orientation course.

The NYSC Coordinator declared that the corps members should welcome the programme as this will place them in good position and secure their future.

She said, “Not everyone will have the opportunity to secure paid employment from the organised private sector or earn salary from Public Service but you can avert future regrets if you key-in to any of the subsect skills.

“All the business skills we are engaged in are promising, but with your diligence and commitment to the training schedule both here in camp and during the service year; they would turn out to be profitable.”

Ani cautioned corps members that not everyone is wealthy and therefore those from the humble background should bear that in mind and equip themselves in skills or vocations that will make them financially stable.

“The world is not fair to everyone and if you are from humble beginning just like myself, I want to appeal to you to put on your thinking cap and be part of this team and set yourself free from financial encumbrances now and in the nearest future.”

She commended the strength of the Trainers and Facilitators who have continuously been known to give their best to the corps members regardless of the little incentive attached to it.

Ani said, “I am impressed with the show of solidarity to the SAED programme as constantly being put on the front burner by the Trainers and Facilitators. Your sacrifice during the one week extension for the 2020 Batch ‘A’ corps members are acknowledged and appreciated.”
